MY MUDDLED MIND

MY MUDDLED MIND

Sometimes I just feel like falling,

When the weight of the world comes calling,

I’m a lonely man, restless and without ease,

Anchored down by this mind’s disease,

This isn’t the life I had always dreamed,

Several years ago it unraveled at the seams,

Leaving me a broken man, lost and down,

Since then I’ve made strides in my turn around,

Yet still so many things elude me,

Love never lasts for me you see,

I don’t have a best friend,

For many, my backward ways they can’t comprehend,

I’ve been mocked and hear the whispers of ridicule,

This saddens me that people can be such fools,

Words hurt and can tear my world apart,

Little do they know of the proceedings of my heart,

There are times I’m so down, all I can do is cry,

Then there’s my favorite, the manic high,

I don’t see them much anymore for the medicine works,

Many simply see as a man with stupid quirks,

But I appreciate the select few,

Who truly try to understand what I go through,

I’m not a monster, if you tried to understand that you’d find,

I’m a human being just like you, only I have a muddled mind,

I breathe, I live,

I love and I give.
